WBA welcomes in Brussels with its partners from Brussels, Wallonia and Flanders, a delegation from Hong Kong in the framework of Belgium's selection as partner country for BoDW 2013 under the name of “Belgian Spirit”. 

It means that we will provide content and speakers for up to one third of the overall program. For the partner country this means substantially more exposure at the seminars, exhibitions and the trade fair.

“Belgian Spirit” was set up in 2011 by the three Belgian regions of Brussels, Flanders and Wallonia to jointly promote Belgium's strong tradition of creativity, innovation, design, technology and innate talent. It aspires to internationalize Belgian creativity even more than it already is, and it is focused on creating and developing a long-term collaboration platform with Business of Design Week in Hong Kong. The aim is to re-inforce the creative, cultural and economic ties between the professionals in the Architecture, Design and Fashion sectors of both countries.
